After about two weeks in a wonderful foster home, a couple (not too young, like me) came to visit and liked me so much they came back and took me home with them! I was nervous at first... When they extended a hand to pet me, I ran to hide under furniture and was afraid the leash was not meant to take me for a walk. Loud noises still scare me, but all in all, I'm pretty satisfied with my situation..
My dad works at home, so I'm rarely alone. I may be only 12 pounds, but I'm a fantastic guard dog as I hear absolutely everything. Actually, I don't know how they managed without me; they miss everything, the UPS guy, the door bell, you name it.
I've heard some people BUY dogs! Can you imagine that? When there are hundreds, no, thousands of dogs, as good and as wonderful as I am waiting for a better life. So think about it.
Gotta go, I distinctly hear some interesting noises in the kitchen!
